The video tutorial explains a strategic game where you must shut down an AI named NIM by controlling water levels in a lab. You and NIM take turns lowering the water by 1, 3, or 4 stories, aiming to reach exactly zero. The key to winning is to leave NIM on losing levels, which are multiples of 7 or two more than multiples of 7.
